When Anthony Johnson moved up from welterweight to middleweight for his UFC 142 fight with Vitor Belfort, it just seemed like common sense: Johnson had struggled mightily to make the 170-pound welterweight limit, and so the 185-pound middleweight class was a much better home for him.

But there's just one problem: Johnson can't make weight at middleweight, either.

Just before the UFC 142 weigh-ins on Friday in Rio de Janeiro, UFC President Dana White announced that Johnson is over the 185-pound limit and won't be able to get down, and so the fight is in jeopardy, although Belfort is expected to agree to fight Johnson anyway.

"Rumble Johnson is not on weight today. And when I say he's not on weight he's way off weight," White said.

So the UFC has essentially decided to turn this into a light heavyweight bout, but with an added condition: They'll have a second weigh-in on Saturday at which Johnson will have to make it under the light heavyweight limit of 205 pounds again. If Johnson can't make weight then, the fight is off.

"The stipulation is, Vitor does not want him to weigh more than 205 pounds by tomorrow at like 2 o'clock in the afternoon," White said. "So we'll see how this thing plays out. He'll weigh in today and have to weigh in tomorrow."

White made it clear that he's not happy with Johnson.

"As a fighter, you are a professional. You are contracted to come in at a certain weight. This is not the first time this has happened with Johnson. He moved up to 185 pounds so this wouldn't happen to him at 170 pounds, and here we are in the same position again. [Belfort] came in like a professional on weight, and Anthony Johnson comes in as a total unprofessional, way overweight."

White appeared angry enough on Friday that this might be Johnson's final fight in the UFC in any weight class.

I just watched the weigh in video at MMAJunkie, that motherfucker weighed 197.

HE WAS AT 197!!! wow dude, dolce diet my dick!

Why would Johnson even go up there if he knew he wasn't even close?

the walk of shame... i think they have to make it "official" by going up there

i guess they knew last night that he couldn't come close...

Why even show up if you can't make weight? What are his trainers doing before the weigh ins? I just don't get when people do this shit! Like you get your weight down a week before the weigh in it's not that hard or while you are training. He looked fat in Warrior.

at this point he couldn't make weight to fight Teila Tuli

Looks like next stop for AJ is Paul Daley's Camp and BAMMA.

I mean what the fuck.........just cause its 15 lbs less than normal did he just think he could do it over night. Not even close man if I was dana I would tell him to pack it up and give vitor the purse. Thats just disrespect at this point. I like rumbles style but now I hope vitor takes his head off.

Yeah this is some truly unprofessional shit right here. They should let Vitor load his gloves just for this shit.

LOL

Damn it looked like a shredded 197 too. Wonder what the hell happened

the only reason IMO that Dana didn't fire him on the spot is becuase Vitor would be left without a fight... i think AJ is canned even if he wins tomorrow night

Hard to believe this guy made 176 just two and a half years ago and can't make 185 today.
